　　Much has already been written about Microsoft’s newWindows 10 and the reintroduction of its long-lostStart button after the company unveiled its updatedflagship operating system on Tuesday morning. Thenew OS may provide a much-needed advance overits predecessor, Windows 8, but it is unlikely torestore Microsoft MSFT -1.22% to its former gloryas the operating system of choice for computingdevices—certainly not in an era where tablets andsmartphones have largely supplanted the PC interms of attention.

　　美国时间9月30日上午，微软(Microsoft)发布了其最新旗舰操作系统Windows10技术预览版，并重新引入久违的开始菜单，关于此消息已有诸多报道。新的操作系统可能在Windows 8基础上提供人们期待的改进，但不太可能使微软重振往日作为计算设备首选操作系统的辉煌，尤其是在当今这个平板电脑和智能手机很大程度上取代了PC机的时代，这肯定是不可能的。

　　Where Microsoft is seeing a lot of growth, though, is in its cloud-based businesses like Azure (aplatform for managing business applications) and Office 365 (the cloud-based version of itssignature productivity software suite). In the company’s most recent earnings report, revenuefrom commercial cloud services grew 147%, representing an annualized run rate of over $4.4billion.

　　而微软有望实现较大增长的领域其实是云业务，如Azure(管理业务应用程序的平台)和Office365(标志性云端企业生产力软件套装)。公司最新财报显示，商业云服务的营收增长了147%，年化运营收入逾44亿美元。
